"Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Virginia" (from Jim Dempsey 10/2003; there is much more in the published record of this case about the laws)
NICHOLAS v. BURRUSS. Unnumbered; SUPREME COURT OF VIRGINIA; 31 Va. 289; 4 Leigh 289; February, 1833
This suit refers to the will of John Peyton dated 9 October 1801 recorded in Fluvanna Co. VA court, naming Mrs. Mary Duncan and her children to inherit, and freeing his slaves as they reached a certain age. One of them, Nicholas, as a negro pauper, brought a suit in the county court of Goochland against Burruss, for the recovery of the plaintiff's freedom. Peyton had devised 1000 acres of land in the western country for the use of his slaves, and 3000 acres of western lands to three devisees, in equal shares: he devised that his land in Fluvanna, and another parcel of land lying in Prince William, and his stock of horses &c. should be sold, after Mrs. Duncan's death, and bequeathed the proceeds of the sale in legacies; he also bequeathed other pecuniary legacies; and, as to his slaves between the death of Mrs. Duncan and the periods at which they were to be emancipated, he bequeathed them to a nephew and five children of Mrs. Duncan; and he gave the residue of his estate to Mrs. Duncan's children. John Quarles, an executor named in the will, duly qualified as such. ... The plaintiff, Nicholas, was one of the testator's slaves emancipated by his will, but whose actual manumission was postponed to a distant day when he should attain the prescribed age, and that the executor Quarles died before he had attained to that age. ... A fieri facias, sued out by one Lightfoot, in October 1810, on a judgment of the county court of Fluvanna, recovered by him against Quarles the executor of the testator Peyton, for 57 dollars with interest and costs, to be levied of the goods and chattels of the testator in the executor's hands; and proved, that this execution was levied on the plaintiff Nicholas, then in the executor's hands as part of his testator's estate, and that the plaintiff was sold by the sheriff at auction for 135 dollars, out of which the execution was satisfied; and that Quarles attended this sale, and invited a person present to bid for the property, stating that the title was good except as to a claim of R.B. Peyton's children. Under this sale, the defendant claimed. ... The county court ... gave judgment that he was a free man. The defendant appealed to the circuit court, which reversed the judgment; and then the plaintiff appealed to this court. ...
Judgment of the circuit court reversed, and that of the county court affirmed.

Wit. Cornelius Toler, Robert Duncan, John Duncan. Rec. on oaths of all witnesses 11 Sept. 1780.
"The Cabells and Their Kin : a Memorial Volume of History, Biography, and Genealogy" by Alexander Brown; pub. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1895, 696 pgs.; HQ Reel/Fiche Number: G3239 (from info from Heather 3/17/2012)
Pg.52: Dr. Cabell was long a member of the vestry, a church-warden, etc., the Rev. Robert Rose and himself were good friends, and he is frequently mentioned in Rose's Diary, which is now preserved by the Virginia Historical Society. He frequently preached at and stayed at "Capt Cabal's." "Jan'y 23rd 1748/9 stayed at Capt. Cabal's reading the Literal Scheme and viewing his low grounds -- Saw Martin Duncan's wife making sugar." [MAD: Robert Rose's survey of land was in Goochland County, Virginia]
Dr. Cabell brought Martin Duncan a 16-gallon still from England in 1741, but I suppose this still was for making something stronger than sugar.
Pg.149-151: Convention on May 10, 1776, ... assistance to North Carolina ... The quota of Amherst County [Virginia], one company of fifty men, was enlisted in the service on May 25; Nicholas Cabell, captain; ... extracts from Col. William Cabell's diary ... The references to Capt. Nicholas Cabell in his brother's (Col. Will's) diary are nearly all of a business character. ... "Jan'y 30th, 1778. Paid Nicholas Cabell £400 in presence of Young Landrum and Daniel Dunakin -- also paid him £4 4s. which Daniel Dunakin paid James Bell, the fuller, for fulling 16-3/4 yards of cloth."
